Movie Reviews

RTÉ (Ireland) - 10/10 by Alan CorrThe Revenant is epic, atmospheric and visceral. It is also a great old-fashioned yarn.

Digital Spy - 10/10 by Stella PapamichaelIt's a wallop of spectacle and soul-searching that director Alejandro G Iñárritu serves up in his follow-up to last year's Birdman - a revenge-propelled must-see epic, master-crafted to leave you breathless.

Scroll.in - 10/10 by Nandini RamnathA movie that is about a near-death experience throbs with alertness to the tiny details of life.

International Business Times - 10/10 by Amy WestThis is the film that DiCaprio has been waiting for and one that is sure to finally win him that elusive Oscar.

National Post - 10/10 by Chris KnightThe Revenant runs for a shade over two and a half hours, yet nary a minute feels wasted... Such beauty almost beggars belief, even as it reminds us what cinema-as-storyteller does best.

rec.arts.movies.reviews - 10/10 by Louis ProyectMuch more of a survival film than a revenge one--and a spectacular one at that. Like "All is Lost", another in this genre, there's not much dialog. None is needed.

The Big Issue - 10/10 by Edward LawrensonThe result is a gripping blend of psychological drama and epic adventure, brutal and bloody but underpinned with a delicate lyricism. Barely saying a word, DiCaprio is extraordinary.
